Marilyn A. Kinsella

From the bluffs of the Mississippi to the wind-swept prairie, comes Taleypo. Her stories will be sure to make you laugh or cry or think or, maybe...see yourself. Since 1981, Marilyn Kinsella has been telling stories "from nursery schools to nursing homes."  Her stories are as varied as her audiences. Come sit by her fire. Who knows...perhaps, Coyote or Anansi will come for a visit.

"Marilyn Kinsella told American Indian tales about monstrous beings and used suspense so skillfully that rows of startled students turned around quickly when a gust of wind whipped against the back of the tent."                     April, 2008,  Sam Blackwell   Southeast Missourian
